Joy Gresham was still at her desk at $6$ P$.$M$.$ trying to tie up some loose ends with the hope

that tomorrow might be a more productive day. Joy is the western regional sales director

$($a middle management position$)$ in the Wilson Company. Wilson is a manufacturer of a

well$-$known line of sporting goods. As she reads the mail she still has to answer and

stacks the phone messages she still has to return, she wonders if being a middle manager

is really her kind of job. Selling products, traveling, and meeting with clients seemed

much more to her liking than the routine of her present job.
